On Saturday September 12th anglers from throughout NY traveled to the mighty Hudson River

On Saturday September 12th anglers from throughout NY traveled to the mighty Hudson River out of  Germantown, NY with their sights on winning the NYS High School Championship.  The Hudson River can be challenging, and the bite is very dependent on the weather and the tide, to top it off it has been tough to fish over the past couple of weeks.  The weather for the day turned out perfect, the tide was a favorable one but the bite was tough.  At the end of the day most of the teams were able to bring fish to the scales but only one team can prevail. 

Taking the win in the High School division for the day and punching their ticket to Kentucky was the team of brothers, Caleb & Cameron Hildenbrand with a 5 fish limit and a bag totaling 13.30lbs. Ryan Knapp and Jason Gibson won the Junior division with a total weight of 8.80lbs and will advance to the 2026 Junior World Championship.

Saturday was a great day for the 2025 MN SAF State Tournament on Clearwater Lake.  Weights were competitive with all teams catching a five fish limit!  Also, great job with fish care…ALL bass weighed were ALIVE and returned safely to Clearwater Lake!
Our top TWO teams will advance to the 2026 World Finals and the top team can also compete in the 2026 TBF District 9 National Semi Final.
We look forward to organizing next year’s event and will announce 2026 date/location as soon as possible.  For now, we wish all of you great luck on the water this fall and safe fun school year!
